TMZ has the story of Ron Artest being pulled over for an expired registration. And what, pray tell, was he driving? The vehicle in question is an Eagle Roadster, which is essentially a street-legal Indy-style kit car, featuring a 235-hp Chrysler V6 mounted behind a two-person cockpit. The company who builds it says the 1,960-lb car will do 0-to-60 mph in 4.2 seconds and hit a top speed of 152 mph.

Some car. Artest can't even drive 155.
